Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We have three people

jamal = x (since im guessing hes the youngest)

wesley= x+1

John= x+2

the formula you would use is x+x+1+x+2=108

when you simplify that you get 3X+3=108

you subtract the 3 from 108 which leaves you with 3X=105

divide that by 3 which makes x=35

so

jamal is 35

wesley is 36

john is 37
